If I split using a variable (`my-split-list' below), it creates a group
mail.misc on the IMAP server and rest of the emails end up in this.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defvar my-split-list
'(("cron" "^From:.*Cron Daemon")
("cron" "^from: OSSEC HIDS <ossecm@app1>")
("cron" "^from: OSSEC HIDS <ossecm@app2>")
("cron" "^from: OSSEC HIDS <ossecm@app3>")
("cron" "^from: OSSEC HIDS <ossecm@db1>")))
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(nnimap "otp"
(nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
(nnimap-inbox "INBOX")
(nnimap-expunge immediately)
(nnimap-split-methods my-split-list)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
But if I put the split rules inline, like the one below, rest of the
emails remain in INBOX.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
'(nnimap "otp"
(nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
(nnimap-inbox "INBOX")
(nnimap-expunge immediately)
(nnimap-split-methods
(("cron" "^From:.*Cron Daemon")
("cron" "^from: OSSEC HIDS <ossecm@app1>")
("cron" "^from: OSSEC HIDS <ossecm@app2>")
("cron" "^from: OSSEC HIDS <ossecm@app3>")
("cron" "^from: OSSEC HIDS <ossecm@db1>")))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Why this difference in behaviour?

Quoting. With '(...), everything inside the form evaluates to itself,
which is not what you want.
You want to use backtick quote `(...) and insert the value of
my-split-list using the comma ,my-split-list :
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
`(nnimap "otp"
(nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
(nnimap-inbox "INBOX")
(nnimap-expunge immediately)
(nnimap-split-methods ,my-split-list)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks. That worked for me.
